Jr. Loper Flag Football

Jr. Lopers Flag Football

YMCA Jr. Lopers Flag Football program focuses on teaching fundamentals, sportsmanship and teamwork through games and practices. We follow an “everyone plays”motto which means that during the season players receive equal practice time and play at least 1/2 of every game. As part of a team, everyone contributes to the team’s success. We believe that kids who have fun playing sports build a lifetime love of healthy competition, and the best way to keep it enjoyable is to keep everyone involved. Teams will be formed by Y staff based on grade and school attended.

**6th-8th division will have a skills assessment to determine team placement**

 

Program information such as team, coach name info, team roster and schedules will be posted on playerspace.net.
